Introduction

This example is meant to show how a simple Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in FreeCADs FEM Module is done by python. The model from FEM_CalculiX_Cantilever_3D will be taken for this example.



Requirements

  • FreeCAD version = 0.17.10664 or above.
  • This could be checked at the menu Help --> about FreeCAD.
  • Al thought due to the continuing changes in FEM module it is recommended to use the latest development snapshot of FreeCAD for python scripted FEM analysis's.
  • A set up FEM module. Check FEM_CalculiX_Cantilever_3D


Let's start

New document and the part to analyze

# new document
doc = App.newDocument("Scripted_CalculiX_Cantilever3D")

# part
import Part
box_obj = doc.addObject('Part::Box', 'Box')
box_obj.Height = box_obj.Width = 1000
box_obj.Length = 8000

# see how our part looks like
import FreeCADGui
FreeCADGui.ActiveDocument.activeView().viewAxonometric()
FreeCADGui.SendMsgToActiveView("ViewFit")

#

Analysis and analysis objects

# see how our part looks like
import FreeCADGui
FreeCADGui.ActiveDocument.activeView().viewAxonometric()
FreeCADGui.SendMsgToActiveView("ViewFit")

# import to create objects
import ObjectsFem

# analysis
analysis_object = ObjectsFem.makeAnalysis("Analysis")

# solver
solver_object = ObjectsFem.makeSolverCalculix("CalculiX")
solver_object.GeometricalNonlinearity = 'linear'
solver_object.ThermoMechSteadyState = True
solver_object.MatrixSolverType = 'default'
solver_object.IterationsControlParameterTimeUse = False
doc.Analysis.Member = doc.Analysis.Member + [solver_object]

# material
material_object = ObjectsFem.makeMaterialSolid("SolidMaterial")
mat = material_object.Material
mat['Name'] = "Steel-Generic"
mat['YoungsModulus'] = "210000 MPa"
mat['PoissonRatio'] = "0.30"
mat['Density'] = "7900 kg/m^3"
material_object.Material = mat
doc.Analysis.Member = doc.Analysis.Member + [material_object]

# fixed_constraint
fixed_constraint = ObjectsFem.makeConstraintFixed("FemConstraintFixed")
fixed_constraint.References = [(doc.Box, "Face1")]
doc.Analysis.Member = doc.Analysis.Member + [fixed_constraint]

# force_constraint
force_constraint = ObjectsFem.makeConstraintForce("FemConstraintForce")
force_constraint.References = [(doc.Box, "Face2")]
force_constraint.Force = 9000000.0
force_constraint.Direction = (doc.Box, ["Edge5"])
force_constraint.Reversed = True
doc.Analysis.Member = doc.Analysis.Member + [force_constraint]

Additional Information

Scripting FEM mesh objects

Scripting the Netgen mesh object was tried here: http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=16944#p134519 , but has some limitations. On the contrary the GMSH mesh object fully supports python scripting. See forum topic http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=20087

Scripting multiple analysis
